    Level: Overview

    Recommended Prerequisite: None

    Field of Study: Specialized Knowledge

    This session will trace the anatomy of two previously unreported international fraud cases — one that took place entirely within the virtual world of Second Life and the other that was organized and carried out via Facebook. Both cases highlight the nontraditional ways that modern fraudsters, extremists and money launderers plan and execute their schemes via nontraditional platforms. The session will draw on the presenter’s experience investigating both incidents.

    You Will Learn How To:

    • Identify prescriptive actions such as methods for information sharing and customer identification
    • Recognize social-financial red flags
